"The Jacob and Bessye Blaufarb Award for Video Tape Productions Relating
to the American Labor Movement.

The Jacob and Bessye Blaufarb Videotape Library of the American Labor
Movement was established at New York University in 1981 to preserve the
memories of the American labor movement. It always been closely
associated with the Tamiment Library and the Robert F. Wagner Labor Archives.
It is housed in the Elmer Holmes Bobst Library.

The Blaufarb Videotape Library fund provides assistance to video makers
whose projects fall within the scope of its collecting interests. It
provides grants of $5,000 or more that can be used to supplement other
sources of production support. Preference is given to projects that draw
on the resource of the Tamiment Library/Robert F. Wagner Labor
Archives.

Video makers wishing to apply for Blaufarb funding should submit three
copies of the following: a description of the project, a treatment,
sample videotape or script, proposed budget, and curriculum vitae for key
